The election monitoring non-governmental organisation GONG has received about 15 reports from citizens about various forms of election blackout breaches, mainly from Zagreb and eastern Croatia, but also from abroad, GONG said on Saturday afternoon, adding that both bigger and smaller parties had committed the breaches.
GONG said the breaches included the putting up of posters, distribution of leaflets, even outside a polling place abroad, the appearance of some political parties' leaflets in post boxes, text and Facebook messages, and suggesting which party to vote for over the telephone.
GONG also received a report that representatives of the Catholic Church had suggested who to vote for during Mass in a town in east Croatia.
GONG reminded all political parties and candidates running in tomorrow's parliamentary election that they must comply with the blackout until 7pm on Sunday, when polling stations are to close.
